Beijing denies US intelligence claims that it is planning to arm Russia

‘We will never accept the US pointing fingers at Sino-Russian relations or even coercing us’

Beijing on Monday tore into the US for what it dismissed as "false" claims that China is considering providing arms and ammunition to Russia in its war against Ukraine.

"It is the United States and not China that is endlessly shipping weapons to the battlefield," said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at his regular press briefing on Monday.

He added: "We will never accept the US pointing fingers at Sino-Russian relations or even coercing us."
